   Summary

   "Something happened while he was out, exiled. While he watched from the sidelines as everybody kept improving and playing and giving interviews. While journalists and men of culture speculated about drugs he never used. Something in him stopped, in those interminable weeks, something in him broke and he can’t put it back together, regardless of how much he tries, how much he has tried for the last few months."

   or,

   Things get worse, and then they slowly get better.

   Summary

   Why did he like that idea so much?

   He knew why. He hated himself for it. Forced proximity with Carlos sounds like the last thing he needs currently. But he couldn't help but want it. It's in his blood to want Carlos.

   or,

   In which Jannik Sinner suffers through the Korean exhibition, all while Carlos is desperately attempting to show Jannik just how much he loves him.
